So I can appreciate that maybe this news isn't very comforting, but it does look like the stand-alone vaults will remain at least through the next iteration - though I think corporate needs will ensure a stand-alone vault.

And it did take DAYS of arguing to finally get this concession. I made it clear to AgileBits I simply will not go subscription on critical security software. That said, I sympathize with your uncertainty. I just think they're going to bury the option and pretty much grandfather those of us already on a stand-alone plan. The reason for the standalone is because there are customers who simply cannot use the 1Password cloud service (whether it is corporate policy or personal reasons). Now, the blog waxes poetic about the subscription, but at the bottom there is a commitment to the standalone for both the existing and forthcoming versions of 1Password. Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to help more. We released a great blog post just today that will explain our new 1Password Memberships and our commitment to our existing customers using standalone local vaults. We have no intention to move away from the standalone version of 1Password. Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

Additionally, enable the Lock When Sleeping option, and your keychain locks when your Mac goes to sleep (when you close your MacBook’s lid, for example). If an application needs access to your keychain after that limit has expired, you’ll be prompted for your login keychain password. If you choose the first option and configure it to read something like 5 minutes, your keychain will lock if it hasn’t been accessed in the last five minutes. The sheet that appears shows two options: 'Lock After X Minutes of Inactivity' and 'Lock When Sleeping'. To do that, launch Keychain Access, select your login keychain, and choose Edit > Change Settings for Keychain “login”. You can add a level of security that auto-locks your keychain. I was going to type instructions but found these,īy default, once you’ve logged in, your keychain will be unlocked, which isn’t terribly secure if others can access your Mac when you’re not around.
